Stress Less, Curb Pain
Break the pain-stress-more-pain cycle with the right get-calm tools.

Curb stress. It's impossible to avoid everything that causes stress - including pain - but you can take proactive steps to dial it down. Try a meditation class, tai chi, or yoga to help reduce stress. If it's really severe or caused predominantly by your chronic pain - talk to your doctor about additional ways to reduce it. Learn how humor, a positive perspective, and acceptance help keep stress in check.
